Apple

Yeah and I’d like to add that they can go reaaaaally loud. On my previous Samsung S20 I always had the volume on the upper part of scale, now on iPhone 15 it’s always on the lower part because on the upper part it really becomes like a mini sound bar.

WireGuard automatically connects when not connected to home wifi. Android still doesn't.

The price

iMessage, 6 years of software updates, quick and responsive and extremely reliable after 5 years since release (my current XR), FaceTime, on the forefront of new ideas, ecosystem mentality and tightknit connectivity between apple products.

Yes, the speakers are very nice. When I switched to an iPhone from my midrange Android I would randomly play a song just to hear the speakers. I always liked the way you can customize the double and triple tap on the back of the phone, and triple click of the power button. I currently have the triple click set to reduce the dark point and the triple tap on the back to turn the display to grayscale.

The software

I can’t mess around with anything.

The things I love about iPhone are MagSafe, Portrait mode, screen calibration. Unfortunately, however, there are also serious drawbacks compared to Android, such as the lousy keyboard, slow animations, fake browsers, lack of a universal backward method, and more.

I had android phones before my 11pro. The thing that makes me happy is stability. It just works. If something stops working there’s an update and it Carries on working. No faffing around. Easy to use. Good photos too. Also I love that it just work seamlessly with my Apple Watch. I haven’t had a phone longer than 6 months to a year. I’ve had this phone almost 3 years now. I’m thinking of getting a 15pro but not changing to android any time soon.

Os generally

iPhone 6 to iPhone X sound was a great improvement.

Camera, ios, famiy set up, overall build quality. My flip 4 already making noises when I “flip” it. 🥲

usb c ;)

The ecosystem has me in a chokehold

Resale Value and durability

It just works!

I bought an iPhone over 10 years ago cause all my friends had one. That was back in the 4s days. I have used an iPhone ever since and honestly I love the solid software updates, iMessage and FaceTime are big since I’m American, and generally app support is better.

Now with Apple making phones with usb c, putting RCS in the OS with side loading to some degree, it will really help blur the line for a lot of folks.

Conversely Google have started making their own custom silicone and I use a Pixel 7 for work and that thing is freaking fast. But Apple put their own custom silicone first so I guess this is an Android move to what iPhone has been doing.

Naturally there’s a lot to love about my iPhone but it’s really just a tool at the end of the day and I don’t think much about it. It’s there when I need it.

The price stability. The simplicity. The display. The excellently well-optimized apps. The camera integration into social media apps.

I've been there since the iPhone 3G and have always used Samsung Androids at the same time and have to say that I've always felt more drawn to Apple iPhones.

I have an S23 and have to say that the apps are not nearly as well optimized as on the iPhone, especially social media apps.

My top 1 reason is how safe they are, and that's why I'm really disappointed with and worried about that latest EU decision

My first phone was the Samsung S8+, had an awful experience with Samsung Repair Centre. Then I had the Z Flip 1 which was fine but not exactly the best battery life. Things got worse as I was refused a battery replacement within warranty period due to Samsung's limited manufacturer's warranty. Basically, Samsung's own warranty in Asia wasn't recognised in Europe. This became a huge pain and cause of stress for me whilst studying for the Bar in UK. Currently have the 14PM, and I gotta say the stability is much appreciated. For those of us with a limited budget unable to constantly change phones yearly, the stability in terms of phone performance and after sales service is appreciated. I now have a phone that I know just works and if something goes wrong? Just book a Genius appointment and walk into my nearest Apple Store or Official Reseller. When you're aging, and need to be focusing more on work and your life, having a phone that just works and an almost guaranteed standardised level of after sales service is everything!

I’m a sucker for music as well, but i never played music on my iphone, either a speaker or headsets, but what I admire about iphones the most is the simplicity and the aesthetic of it. I’m aware android phones offer alot of customization but that’s not my thing, i like my phone simple, it’s not some god damn canvas that ill be staring at and admiring how many widgets and flashy things on the screen

The camera is very reliable especially for video

The software is smooth and lag free it’s very well optimised

I switched quite recently to IOS and I have no regrets

I can only speak for the SE (2022) at my last job and my Mom's 13 Pro Max. I'm a Pixel 8 Pro main driver myself. I like the hardware design. I also get some satisfaction from organizing the phones to how I think I would use them most easily depending on my needs at the moment. I treat it like an organization activity with a little challenge (every app snaps to the left of the screen).

Resale value

Not much an audiphile so can't comment on that. I guess it sounds nice but my phone is almost always silent and I watch videos on my iPad..

What I like about iPhone, specifically mine is the screen. So clear, crisp, and smooth. Granted I moved from Note9 (5+ years old) so pf course technology advanced. But I just love it.

Since it's new too, I like the battery life and how it's only warm when used for gaming. I charged my phone yesterday at 81% and until now (1.5 days later) it sits at 40% with light use. Truly an upgrade. For now. 😂

Battery Life

They get the job done. And they tend to last longer and be more reliable than even the highest end android phones.

Design of phone and minimalistic interface.I had iphone 5C green it was best looking phone i ever saw best grip but i had no choice other than buying new phone bcs no more support for apps,so i bought iphone 7 last year and it was kinda bad like worst grip ever it was so thin so i bought 12 mini after using old phones i was stunned because of Face id,oled screen and ios 16-17.(sorry if my English is bad)

Not bloated with crappy apps I can’t uninstall like the Samsung phones. I owned S22 for 4 hours and then got an iPhone.

The fluidity of transitions of what is on display and no lag. That’s just about it. I’d be glad to stay in android if it could do the same thing.

I realize this is exactly what non Apple users hate about Apple users lol but I love how easily iPhones play with other Apple devices. I have an Apple TV that I use for streaming, if I want to cast from my phone to the TV it is so easy. I can send and receive calls and texts through my Macbook.

Granted, it’s been about 5 years since I last had an Android, but my iPhones have typically lasted much longer than my Android phones. I was lucky to get a year of use out of them.

Its the best phone for me to play games on. Does not overheat, great frame rate and smooth gameplay.

Using 15 pro max

Every little thing!

I dunno. They just work. Great cameras and screens too

The smell of curry from the latest iPhone 15 Pro.

The experience ngl. Whatever it does it does great. Whatever it doesn't do great it falls flat on. The highs don't get marred by the lows and that's what is good about it.

Im using both android and iPhone and i gonna say, iPhone have an amazing battery life, great video quality camera and software updates

The home button

13 mini size the fact that the minis died a horrible unforgivable death gave me c

The fit and finish and fluidity. I really do like Android phones, I think they are cool and packed with nice features and customization. Especially the Samsungs.

But the iPhone just works. It has a level of polish that I really have never seen an android reach before. My immediate family and close circle of friends are all on iPhone, so having seamless iMessage and FaceTime is great. My family is setup with location tracking. I’m able to freely troubleshoot issues and questions my non tech savvy parents have.

The apps just work better. Everything from the media and sound, banking, shopping, utility, it’s all just simply better.

I like that if I’m ever in a dire situation I can go to an Apple Store for assistance, and also that apple’s customer device is actually good. I’ve always heard horror stories from Samsung or google for instance.

The only thing I like better about Android is the ability to drag and drop files using a computer. My workaround on iOS is using OneDrive. But that’s okay for me.

I’m not even a big Apple fan myself. The only other Apple device I have are AirPods for exercising. But they got the phone right.

Build quality is extremely good. I’ve had Pixel phones, Oneplus phones, and Samsung and very few come close to the quality that the iPhone has.

iMessage is also great. I’m included in over 10 different group chats where I can talk and engage with many people whereas when I had Android my group chat was a mess of a situation.

They consistently work. Used an iPhone 5s for three years straight, no issues. ✨

The “ecosystem” but also just works. I’ve owned several android phones before the iPhone

I like how simple the OS is and doesn't seem to have weird bugs that lock up the touch screen, my mates last phone is a perfect example of why i don't want android, the thing would lock up, crash and restart its self and this is a nokia we're talking about, he now has a motorola which definitely does have its moments such as his earbuds reacting weirdly with Roblox and causing it to close, i also like that you know what specs iphones have and android is kinda like a no mans land

Just two things

Iphone can record at 25FPS and very few Android phones can.

iCloud will backup EVERYTHING.

I love all the Apple only apps. Notes, Reminders, Pages, Apple Maps (superior to Google maps), iMessage. Also, Apple shortcuts cuts are amazing!
